Rating: The debut on Napalm Records by the Danish band Iron Fire will certainly not disappoint the expectations of the large number of fans of the most classic power metal. Twelve songs (the limited edition digipack will include two bonus tracks not present on this promo cardboard) that flow pleasantly through the player, between maiden-esque gallops ("Ironhead", "Brotherhood Of The Brave" seem to be true tributes to Steve Harris' band) and daring guitar solos.
No technical drop or imprecision, the band's chemistry is practically perfect even if genre purists may object to the presence of a singer who is not purely metal (screaming vocals are rare in favor of a voice that greatly resembles Europe, especially in the use of chorus).
If the Nordic quintet on "Metal Messiah" and "Stand As King" flirts with thrash, for almost all the other songs it draws heavily close to what Helloween have already said and said plenty of, and ventures into engaging ballads like "Icecold Arion" without ever losing sight of their own sound signature. Lovers of happy atmospheres and robust power metal will certainly make it their own.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Ironhead (04:25)
There is no chains that can hold him down
Iron head is here in town
On wheels of freedom, riding hard
Born with a rebel heart
They call him outlaw, they call him fear
In smoke and fire he appears
A king of the highway, call of the wild
Here comes the thunder child
His legacy lives on for ages
His destiny is unknown
Blood on the tombstone
Ironhead last rebel riding
Ironhead on hell's highway
Ironhead true hero fighting
Ironhead blow them all away
Legions of the ironhead
Raising hell, a gambler son
He is always on the run
A gun fighting man, a true patriot
Gasoline is in his blood
Never surrender, never give in
You got to ride the beast, now let it spin
Like a desperado, gone on a crusade
Forced on a renegade
His legacy lives on for ages
His destiny is unknown
Blood on the tombstone
Ironhead last rebel riding
Ironhead on hell's highway
Ironhead true hero fighting
Ironhead he will blow them all away
Come from a land, a planet far away
A rebel heart is hard to tear apart
Come from a land, a planet far away
A rebel heart is hard to tear apart
Ironhead, Ironhead
Ironhead, Ironhead
Ironhead last rebel riding
Ironhead on hell's highway
Ironhead true hero fighting
Ironhead he will blow them all away
Ironhead, Ironhead
Ironhead, Ironhead
Ironhead
